Following the incident, police personnel were rushed to the spot and traffic routes were diverted. “There was no curfew but a curfew-like situation,” ToI quoted a source as saying.
.@apu_rocks Yes. There was. But Mumbai Police did a fine job and brought it under control quickly. Commissioner himself was on the spot.
